There was a strong wind blowing straight down the field, but otherwise the conditions were good. '99 chose the side with the wind and '98 kicked off. After a run around right end and through left tackle, Brown kicked and Vincent caught the ball for '98. '98 then lost the ball on downs and '99 kicked again. Riggs, after making some slight gains through centre and guard, fumbled and '99 got the ball. Adams then went through left tackle for twenty yards and Davis went around the right end for twenty more and a touchdown, and Adams kicked the goal...
...Adams kicked off again for '98 and '99 got the ball on the thirty-five yard line. W. Adams then cleared the left end and ran down the field for a touchdown but was called back on account of holding in the line. For the rest of the half there was no more scoring, the ball being well down in ninety-eight's territory most of the time...
...second half '98 had the wind and took advantage of it much more than '99 had done in the first.

Towards the end of the half '98 came very near scoring by a run around right end, which was stopped by a brilliant tackle by Simpson. The game ended with the ball on ninety-nine's three-yard line...
...playing their best, nor trying to, and taken after the excellent showing of last week against Brown, such a reaction is at least unwarrantable. Throughout the game, there was a most conspicuous jumble of plays. The line men failed to open up holes at the right time, the ball was fumbled, the backs were nearly always off their feet and the interference was so weak that end plays were broken up with little or no effort. All this only illustrates a fatal weakness in one all important element-the men did not follow the ball...
